Twin propellers on blue boat - WIP stages
 |
| stages of 'Twin propellers on blue boat' artwork |
This painting, completed in June 2018
shows the hull of a boat with two protruding propellers. It can be
seen that nature, and the sea water, have taken some toll on the
surfaces of the hull and propeller blades, but this in turn provides
some interesting textures on the surfaces. The boat itself was in a
local marina in Southampton.
Acrylic paint was used for the
painting, done on water colour paper that has been stretched. The
first panel shows the drawing, done in grey paint and with a tonal
wash applied over the drawing to indicate dark and light areas. White
paint is used in addition to show areas of bright tonal range. In the
second panel some darker base colours have been applied to act as the
under-painting, and will be a base for the final application of colour
to its true tonal quality later. The third panel shows further build
up of the image, leaving the forth panel to display the finished
painting, which measures 16” x 12”.
It can be seen in greater detail here.
